ep 27 "on mission: our past" with fred and pauletta meek hillary stewart

On today’s episode, I am chatting with Fred and Pauletta Meek on the topic of our past. Sometimes it can be easy to reason away how God could use and redeem our past, especially when it includes areas we wish were not a part of. But if we humble ourselves, and trust Him to work as He can, He will use it all…even the ugly or undesirable to draw people into His kingdom.

What did life look like before you came to know Jesus? How did he first begin to work to draw you to himself? How did the Lord open the door for you to go to prison? What about the listener who feels tarnished or even disqualified by their past…can you speak to the enemy component in these lies as well as the truth of God’s Word? How can we learn to hold our days more “open-handedly” allowing the Lord to redirect and teach us?

We are continuing in our series entitled “on mission” strategically evaluating how God desires to leverage every aspect of our lives for his glory and kingdom opportunities.
